I greet you all safe and sound from my many travels. I trust you all are doing well and protecting the land we love so dearly. I do apologize for my long absence. As mentioned before my parents have not seen my brother Girek in some time, so I felt it necessary to venture back home to discuss the matter with them. As fate would have it, I was called to duty in another land as there was an invasion of undead upon the land of Grandalia--a land I must travel by to reach my home. I was called upon by the King of the land, and served until the threat was put to rest.

Upon reaching the house of my parents, I found them more distraught than ever. It appears that they found some writings in one of my brothers dressers with some scribbling about using divine intervention to cast spells. I believe Girek may be not only be the strong fighter I knew him to be, but a formidable spellcaster also. My parents concern was most evident, as my brother had been hanging around with a half-orc of a most vile nature, named Urg Bustum. With this information I found it best to start on my way back to Dysotopia. I have sent this message by courier to the Order to let you know of my soon return, as I hope we can all have an ale around the pool and I can catch up on the happenings in the land.

I also plan to use this trip as a means to search for my brother, Girek. With the guidance of Torm I hope to persuade my brother that he has chosen the wrong path....I hope and pray I am successful, and that our encounter does not come to a dismal end.

I look forward to seeing you all soon.......and I'm looking forward to sleeping in my good 'ol bed in the keep. Justice and grace to you all!
